5. BEFORE USING FOR FIRST TIME

Before using for the first time the following accessories should be washed in warm non-abrasive soapy water and thoroughly rinsed: water tank (11), filter holder (4), filter (14), dosage spoon (13) and steamer (7). The coffee maker should also be cleaned internally. To do so, fill the tank (11) with water and operate the appliance without coffee several times in a row.

1. Remove the tank (11) (fig. B) and open

the lid (12). Fill the tank (11) with fresh clean water until the MAX mark, and replace it in the coffee maker.

2. Ensure that the I/O switch (8) is in

the “0” position and that the function selector (10) is in the “•” position and plug the coffee maker into the mains.

3. Press the I/0 switch (8) to position

“I” to connect the coffee maker. The red indicator light (2) will turn on to indicate that the coffee maker is connected.

4. When the green indicator light

(3) turns on, the coffee maker has achieved the working temperature and is ready to make coffee.

• Place one or two cups on the drip tray (6), under the coffee outlets in the filter holder (4).
• Turn the selector dial (10) to the position (fig. F). Coffee will start to be dispensed.
• To stop filling the cups, turn the function selector dial (10) to the • position (fig. G). Wait until the coffee has stopped dripping before removing the filter holder (4).
• After each use, remove the filter holder (4) and - pushing the filter fastener forwards - empty out the used coffee (fig. H).
• When you have finished using the coffee maker, press the I/0 switch PREPARING CAPPUCCINO to the 0 position to switch-off the appliance, and unplug the unit from the mains.

7. CUP WARMING

Place coffee cups upside down on the cup warming plate (1). When the coffee maker is warm, the plate will heat up the cups placed on it. Hot cups help create and maintain cream. A cappuccino consists of 1/3 espresso coffee, milk and milk froth.

• Once you have setup the coffee maker, make an espresso coffee (see the section on “Preparing an espresso coffee”).
• Fill a tall stainless steel vessel approximately 1/3 full of cold skimmed milk. The milk must be cold and the vessel must have been refrigerated, therefore it should not be submerged in hot water.
• Insert the steamer (7) in the milk that is to be warmed up and turn the function selector dial (10) to the position (fig. I). Vapour will start to come out. Hold the vessel under the steamer (7) lightly shaking the vessel to create more froth. This will allow the vapour to mix with the air and create creamy froth. The froth should be thick with compact bubbles to produce good taste and lasting consistency.
• Once you have finished creating froth, turn the function selector dial (10) to the
• position and remove the vessel.
• Pour the frothy milk onto the espresso coffee and fill the cup to the top with the remaining milk.
